An Impatient Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Leans on Obama Again Over Illegal Immigrants

Los Angeles Times: “But in his White House mailbox the American chief executive should find a new letter from an impatient Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer about the illegal immigrant and unsecured federal border issues — and laced with a little salsa .The Republican governor is reminding the Democrat president that three weeks ago during their overdue Oval Office meeting he promised to send her more material within two weeks, especially regarding deployment of National Guard troops to fulfill the federal government’s role of securing the nation’s international borders. Arizona and Obama officials now have a June 28 meeting set.”

Dear Mr. President:

Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you in person during my recent trip to Washington, D.C.

June 25, 2010, Columns on Arizona’s Immigration Law

1. Michelle Malkin: “The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor”

“The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn’t give a hoot about our immigration laws — or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn’t.”

2. Washington Examiner: “U.S., Mexico act on illegal immigration by suing Arizona”

“Is Arizona’s law, scheduled to go into effect next month, an unconstitutional assault on all things moral and decent? How else to describe the over-the-top reaction to — and the often completely false description of — the law by people who apparently neither read nor understood it.”

3. Hot Air: “Dem county supervisor: Arizona’s law might have been justifiable if it was a border state” From the how to these idiots get elected department. Milwaukee county supervisor Peggy West said in a public meeting:

“If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border,”

4. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer: “Letter to President Obama dated June 23, 2010”

5. FoxNews: “California Lawmakers Push for First-in-the-Nation State Boycott of Arizona”

6. Arizona Republic: “SB 1070 lawsuits: Brewer wants limits”

7. Hot Air: Video of a racist nut job who compares the Border Patrol enforcing not enforcing U.S. law to the KKK.

8. Phoenix Business Journal: “Gabrielle Giffords pans federal boycotts of AZ“
